the blue sharpie pen!!!

So, I am obviously not a blogger girl. But I try. I really do. For some strange 
reason, I cannot CANT! write on a blog every day. Why not? No worries, I am
 working on it. Well, for the mean time, here is a short story that I wrote
 probably three or four years ago. Not exactly sure. Enjoy!

the blue sharpie pen!!!
               


       I ripped the package open and stared dumbfounded.  I could not believe it! Blue. Anything but blue. I HATE blue sharpie pens. I threw it against the wall and it exploded all over my yellow-polka dotted wallpaper. Oh great what next. Suddenly my vision went into slow motion. I could see a drop of ink moving so slow, but so fast, toward my orange rug. NOOOOOOOOO I yelled! I dove to catch it but my desk got in the way. The last thing I remember seeing was the blue ink mixing in with the blood from my forehead, making a very beautiful dark purple.
.  .  .
    When I woke up thirty seconds later I saw the forsaken pen.  There it was, just lying there. The blue ink had already infected a third of my carpet. I had to act. I jumped up, then fell right back down again. Whoa I feel like I have been hit by a bus from both sides. Oh no what should I do.  I am too weak to move and the ink is spreading so fast.
MOM MOM MOM! Where is she? I need her. I started to cry. There is no more hope. My orange and yellow room is blue, I and weak and bleeding and my mom is out running errands, oblivious to my pain and suffering. Oh wait. I have an idea; maybe I can crawl to that evil pen, pick it up, and throw it away. I have to hurry, there is so little time.
.  .  .

    I woke up to my sister yelling at me.  “Guess what! We get to go to the beach today!” I got up, yawned, stretched, and pulled on my swimsuit. As I was looking in the mirror I saw the reflection of the wonderful orange paint. Oh it is beautiful. Oh my gosh! It isn't blue! HALLELUJAH! It was just a dream. I danced down the stairs and jumped into the yellow truck. I was going to the beach today.
